Days are getting longer though the weather is still as unpredictable as ever. But peak riding season is coming, and I am excited! Finished two "lite" thrillers in the past week or so--doesn't do much for the brain but the miles fly...oh, and a 3rd which I definitely enjoyed, but not a thriller...

In addition to the many, many restaurants to be found all over this lovely island, one can hardly throw a rock without hitting another "coffee and dessert" cafe, many with stunning views of the ocean. Tried another one today. Coffee was excellent, the cake less so. But it WAS interesting: green tea with red beans. I am so running out of time to try new treats..
It's been a bad few weeks for riding between the weather, flat tires, and other life events. But today I had both the time and the good weather to ride around the entire lake. Wow, did that feel good! And I'm in the final chapters of "Tom Lake" by Ann Patchett. Mom recommended it, and it's fantastic.

After days of rain, freezing temperatures, and not feeling so well, I finally got out today for 30+ miles. Unfortunately, my more ambitious plans were foiled by road work at the Montlake intersection and the closure of the SR-520 the bike lane. But anyhow, there WAS sunshine and NO rain (or ice), and I am grateful. Finished the book below last week--it's an odd one recommended by one of the Economist's writers. Science fiction set in the Los Angeles of 2047 (almost the dawn of the binary millennium) and written in 1990; parts of it were fascinating.
